Seabourn Encore

"The arrival of Seabourn Encore in 2016 – and sister ship Ovation (2018) will ensure Seabourn's place at the forefront of ultra luxury travel - offering the newest fleet of any luxury cruise line"

When the stunning new Seabourn Encore debuts in December 2016, she will once again re-define the industry's expectations for an ultra-luxury experience. Modelled after the award-winning trio of small ships that began with Seabourn Odyssey in 2009, this striking new vessel offers one additional deck, allowing for even more luxury suites (a total of 300), and yet another beautiful, special-occasion dining alternative.
Loyal Seabourn guests will find many of their favourite features on board, but realized with additional flair provided by the design genius of Adam D. Tihany. Recognized as one of the pre-eminent designers in the world, Tihany specialises in developing elegantly individual spaces for the most highly rated restaurants, hotels, resorts and spas in the hospitality industry. There is a new softness and a curvaceous elegance to his designs, the ship feels more luxurious, more like a private residential yacht. And, true to his vision, Tihany has enriched Encore with an impressive array of unexpected surprises and subtle transformations for guests to continually discover and delight in.
Tihany is very aware that the views on a ship change constantly – unlike those of a land based hotel. Dining areas will have a more dramatic look such as the Restaurant, while in the Colonnade the first thing that guests will see will be a display of stunning foods.

The Club will be an elegant and inviting lounge with striking elements to catch the eye and a world class programme of music, dancing and entertainment. Guests will have direct access to the Club Terrace, an intimate exclusive alfresco lounge area with a plunge pool and two whirlpool spas, at its heart an elegant fountain which will be illuminated at night. .
Seabourn Encore's extra deck will offer a new speciality restaurant connected by stairs to the Colonnade, while social spaces such as Seabourn Square, the "Piazza" at the heart of the ship, will "flow" more easily.

All-Suite Delights
Seabourn Encore will feature 300 spacious, well-appointed suites, all of which include a private veranda. The majority these range from nearly 300 square feet for the standard veranda suite, plus a private veranda measuring up to 74 square feet, to the ultimate in luxury, the 1,300 square ft Wintergarden suites, which have a huge veranda.
All accommodation will feature striking design, tasteful and sophisticated decor, and abundant light, with finishes in rich mahogany wood, blue and white detailed carpet and tailored white stitched upholstered headboards. Luxuriously modern bathrooms will all be in polished marble.
As always the Personal Suite Stewardess' thoughtful, unobtrusive service will include welcome champagne and canapes; a selection of designer soaps; replenishing ice and bar set-up; managing laundry service needs; assisting with special requests; and personalised nightly turndown

Chef Thomas Keller joins Seabourn
In their ongoing quest to provide a world-class experience, Seabourn has created a partnership with world-renowned American chef and restaurateur Thomas Keller, culinary genius behind a trio of Michelin-starred restaurants - and now bringing his award-winning French and American cuisine to Seabourn!

Chef Keller is developing an array of dishes, ranging from appetizers to entrees to desserts which guests will be able to experience and taste from autumn 2015.

In addition, Seabourn will partner with Chef Keller to introduce a new signature restaurant to be revealed spring 2016 on Seabourn Quest before being subsequently rolled out to the entire fleet including the two new builds, Seabourn Encore in 2016 and Seabourn Ovation in 2018.

Chef Keller will also share his expertise and vision with the Seabourn culinary team on all aspects of culinary operations.
